FIGURE 6. Features of Hagiwaraea tenebrica important for identification: A. Irregular off-centered streamed aggregations, the streams are broad, with lobed margins and ends, also with anastomosed termina, which then disrupt and form tiny masses of pseudoplasmodia that tend to surround the center, streams also open to incoming myxamoebae, B. Clustered (left) to solitary mostly unbranched sorocarps (right), sorocarps are gently curved, sori globose, one sorus has slid down a little, sorophores appear to be coremiform in part, branches few and very small, C. Main feature of the species is a crampon base immersed into its dense slime and pleated sheath, with visible dark large granules, the number of crampon "roots" is usually 4 or 5, characteristically incased in a slime sheath, D. Small elliptical-oblong spores with polar to subpolar consolidated granules, some large granules are also apparent in the spore body. Bars: A = 150 μm, B = 500 μm, C = 20 μm, D = 6 μm.
